Colangelo's directing style is both precise and unostentatious. Here, she has given us a film which is unabashedly full of heart without ever veering on the needlessly sentimental.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 10, 2021

You won't find a larger critique of the litigious nature of American society here, nor even the full story of the fund, but no matter. What's there is gripping and thoughtful, with outstanding work by Keating, Tucci and Ryan.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2021

Watching the bureaucracy shift from a source of frustration to comfort gives the film its arresting tension.

| Sep 7, 2021

A timely and wise film filled with emotion.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 4, 2021

"Worth" is a powerful drama that engages with profound philosophical ideas while being rooted in recognizably human emotions.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 4, 2021

Initially legalistic and procedural, but then it lightens up a bit and has some really good performances.

| Sep 3, 2021

If the film exists to sell us on how great the fund was, it blew it, because we're left with troubling and unanswered questions. If the film exists to raise those questions, it cops out by resorting to treacly melodrama. And it cannot effectively do both.

| Sep 3, 2021

Certain hierarchies and structures end up being preserved here, despite the film's having made a point to call them into question.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 3, 2021

"Worth" falls just short of having enough strength in the screenplay to warrant a recommendation.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 2, 2021

As good as the supporting cast is, Keaton holds the movie together. Like many of his best roles, it's a subtly smart performance resistant to the film's inclinations to sentimentality.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 2, 2021

The writing in Max Borenstein's script continuously eschews subtlety for static melodrama. You hear the same lines repeated ad nauseam, only slightly tweaked and louder and angrier every time.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 2, 2021

As "Worth" charts the messiness-averse Feinberg's gradual embrace of what he recognizes should be a humane calculation, Colangelo's restraint achieves a kind of poignance.

| Sep 2, 2021

"Worth" is uncommonly moving by the standards of biopics and certainly by the standards of movies that risk addressing 9/11 so overtly.

| Sep 2, 2021

Being heard provides solace, and this film is as much a tribute to those we lost as to those who tried to give them some small element of restorative justice.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 2, 2021

Intriguing, no? A legal drama with no possible winner, equal parts philosophy and spreadsheets.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2021

The result feels, perversely, unearned and a little cheap.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 1, 2021

In the end, this Netflix film is a restrained yet unmistakable call for compassion, and it makes a case for the value of every human life.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2021

Though this stolid drama, based on a true case, begins as a procedural, about systems, processes and deadlines, it is most absorbing when it zeroes in on one man's moral arc.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2021

Michael Keaton on superlative form is reason enough to see this true-life tale, which unfolds in the shadow of 9/11.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2021

Colangelo attempts to provide context to the ugly bureaucracy which compounded so many people's pain years after the fact, but its dullness and a lack of empathy in its main character means it does not leave a lasting impression.
